World Cancer Day: No one should have to face the challenges of cancer alone, says Senator Oluremi Tinubu
The First Lady of the Federal Republic of Nigeria Senator Oluremi Tinubu has urged Nigerians to rally round cancer patients giving them the needed succour through their trying times.
In a statement signed by Senator Tinubu on Sunday in commemoration of this year’s World Cancer Day, she noted that it presents an important opportunity to raise awareness and elaborate further the message of prevention, early detection, and treatment of cancer.
Senator Tinubu said that: “The theme for this year, “Closing the Care Gap,” speaks to the fact that we are to deepen our efforts in putting in place necessary infrastructure to address these health challenges towards better care for cancer patients and survivors.
“No one should have to face the challenges of cancer alone.
“Let us continue to show empathy, care, love, and support for cancer patients and survivors, even as we create more awareness and advocacy for better service delivery.
“Also we are to celebrate those who are cancer free.”
